Minor bodies sometimes can reach stable orbital status around a planet. During numerical orbital integrations it is possible to find asteroids captured by the planets into co-orbital motion, after sharing a similar semi-major axis with the relative planet. Former investigations showed that these kind of minor bodies' motions are possible in the inner solar system; e.g. Schwarz & Dvorak 2012 and Galiazzo & Schwarz 2014. The co-orbital objects can be satellites, quasi-satellites, horseshoes or objects in tadpole motion (trojan or jumping-trojan). Therefore we create a tool which identify the type of co-orbital motion. We will also show some co-orbital motions in the inner solar system via the migration of asteroids from the inner main belt, such the Hungaria group toward the inner solar system Galiazzo et al. 2013. The Hungaria group is a source of co-orbital objects in the inner solar system as it was shown in Galiazzo & Schwarz 2014.
